Mark added: “Since I started eating avocados, I’ve always used a teaspoon. Logically, it seems to work best for the shape and size of the seed.”
To use a stone to remove the stone from the avocado, cut the avocado as you normally would and twist it open. Then place a spoon behind the curve of the seed and use it as leverage. At this point the stone pops out easily. You can also use a spoon to gently remove the fruit from the peel.
